REALLY Desperate FCS Teams

This is in the nature of “it could be worse.”

(I know a lot of people on here dislike Haley, but he has a solid network of contacts in the FCS world and actually makes a living writing about it. So, like him or hate him, he has the creds.)

Here’s the lead-in to the article and a few key quotes (you'll have to read the rest).

Will These Disappointing FCS Teams Make a Rally?
Jacksonville State drew national attention with a win at Florida State earlier this season, but it almost feels like the up-and-down Gamecocks have to upset defending FCS champ Sam Houston on Saturday to remain alive in the postseason picture.
… A number of FCS teams that were expected to be conference, if not national contenders are already in playoff mode, sitting several games below .500 and basically faced with needing to win all of their remaining games to have the chance at the second season.

Even with five straight wins to end the regular season, UND would face a long climb up the MVFC standings. [But] An at-large bid isn’t out of the question …

Weber State … Coach Jay Hill’s squad will have to win its final five games to simply be in contention for a sixth straight playoff bid.
 
He’s not that much of an expert or Montana would be on that list too. The experts on eGriz must know more then him.
